I just need to talk to someone

Social isolation can take its toll on everyone. Abilities in Motion has set up Social Connection Lines for people to just call in to talk. The numbers are not to receive services or for emergencies, it is just to connect with another human between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

I need to teach my child

How do I explain coronavirus to someone with autism?

The Autism Services, Education, Resources, and Training Collaborative (ASERT) is a statewide initiative funded by the Pennsylvania Office of Developmental Programs (ODP). It has developed online coronavirus resources for people with autism or those who live with someone with autism in five different languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian and Arabic.

I'm worried about getting scammed

Officials are warning consumers to be on the lookout for scams that involve the new coronavirus. Scam artists are using the public health crisis as an opportunity to contact unsuspecting consumers in an attempt to swindle them out of their money. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has resources for residents about scams and rumors at https://www.fema.gov/coronavirus-rumor-control.

I need assistance

The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) launched a statewide Support & Referral Helpline staffed by skilled and compassionate caseworkers who will be available 24/7 to counsel Pennsylvanians struggling with anxiety and other challenging emotions due to the COVID-19 emergency and refer them to community-based resources that can further help to meet individual needs. The toll-free, round-the-clock support line is 1-855-284-2494. For TTY, dial 724-631-5600.

To report a public health emergency: 877-724-3258

I want to fish

Fishing and boating is permitted in Pennsylvania state parks and state forests when social distancing guidelines are followed.

The Fish and Boat Commission said anglers and boaters should:

Limit travel by fishing close to home.

Cover their faces with a mask or other cloth covering.

Keep a distance of at least 6 feet from others (the length of arm with an outstretched fishing rod is a good guide).

Only go fishing with members of their families living in the same household.

Never share fishing gear with others. If another angler is in an area you intended to fish, move on to another spot.

To further discourage group gatherings, a stocking schedule and list of waters that have been stocked will not be provided to the public.
